efiling non-standard plan years

[M Norton]

We need assistance to fix efast.

Who can we talk to that can make eFast more flexible to accept filings from plans that have 52/53 week years? This must be resolved quickly as the current plan year end is only two and a half months away.

Client sponsors MPPP using non-std prototype document.

Plan year is defined as 52/53 week year, ending on the Saturday closest to November 30 of each year.

Plan has several hundred participants and must be audited every year.

We contacted the Efast Help Line because the 2009 Form 5500 for plan year ending 11/27/2010 could not be efiled.

We were advised that the only way to efile it was to check the box indicating a short plan year (364 days).

The current plan year ending 12/3/2010 will be a 53-week year (371 days), which will be un-file-able because it will be longer than 365 days.

If you can help, please respond to this post or email JMFPension@jmf.com
